"Rare Last-Minute Abort: Soyuz Rocket Scrubs ISS Crew Launch"

A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying three astronauts to the International Space Station experienced a rare last-minute abort just 21 seconds before liftoff, prompting NASA astronaut Tracey Caldwell Dyson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya to wait for the next launch opportunity on Saturday. The cause of the abort is still unknown, and engineers are investigating. Meanwhile, an uncrewed SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo ship are scheduled to launch supplies to the ISS from Florida as planned.
